Given what you've just found I would sit and wait just to be safe. Saying that Im sure that BFG GTXWC has some headroom to get 30% more performance than the stock 280-all that without the worries of cf driver issues. Personally Ive invested in a crossfire capable rig so I would love to see some better driver support and scaling for upcoming games.

Wow, all I can say is that I'm glad I evaded the upgrade big and didn't jump for a 4870 right away. 80% is a HUGE margin, even if it comes to half of that, I will still be pretty darn impressed. Gotta love competition!

Well if your gaming at high resolutions its worth considering but a 4870 at 1650*1080 is a monster even with poor driver support. Cant wait to see what it does with tailored drivers and a waterblock.
